OEL Handsfree install for Oracle VM Manager part 2

Sat, 21 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000

So part one finished up with a Virtualbox VM , two blank disk and the OEL CD image in the virtual CD drive.

Fair warning I have taken some liberty with technical preciseness of handsfree, but it’s pretty close. If some knows how I can second commands to the guest from the host command line let me know, virt-install maybe.

So this is straight forward and I have covered some of these techniques in other posts like Kickstart for Solaris Admins or my even older Grub menu reinstall. Startup the VB guest it should boot off your attached CD/DVD image. and the welcome screen press TAB key

VirtualBox command line and Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1 part 1

Rather than wait until I have the whole thing polished I thought I’d do a multipart entry on building Oracle VM Manager VM and installing the software. Now the previous version 3.0.3 had a VirtualBox template available. The current version 3.1.1 doesn’t, at least not that I can find, so this is a kinda of roll your own template.

Tools used for this job: Virtual Box 4.1.8 Oracle VM Manager ISO 3.1.1 OEL R6U1 ISO
